Parameter file sections

You can reuse parameter files across assets such as

mapping tasks and taskflows

. To use a parameter file for multiple assets, group parameters in different sections of the parameter file.

Each section in the parameter file is preceded by a heading that identifies the project, folder, and asset to which you want to apply the parameter values. Define parameters directly below the heading, entering each parameter on a new line.

The following table describes the headings that define each section in the parameter file and the scope of the parameters that you define in each section:

Heading	Description
#USE_SECTIONS	Tells Data Integration that the parameter file contains asset-specific parameters. Use this heading as the first line of a parameter file that contains sections. Otherwise Data Integration reads only the first global section and ignores all other sections.
[Global]	Defines parameters for all projects, folders, tasks, and taskflows .
[project name].[folder name].[taskflow name] -or- [project name].[taskflow name]	Defines parameters for tasks in the named taskflow only. If a parameter is defined in a taskflow section and in a global section, the value in the taskflow section overrides the global value.
[project name].[folder name].[task name] -or- [project name].[task name]	Defines parameters for the named task only. If a parameter is defined in a task section and in a global section, the value in the task section overrides the global value. If a parameter is defined in a task section and in a taskflow section and the taskflow uses the task, the value in the task section overrides the value in the taskflow section.
